M. Scott Peck's publishing history reflects his own evolution as a serious and widely acclaimed writer, thinker, psychiatrist, and spiritual guide. Since his groundbreaking bestseller, "The Road Less Traveled, " was first published in 1978, his insatiable intellectual curiosity took him in various new directions with virtually each new book: the subject of healing human evil in "People of the Lie" (1982), where he first briefly discussed exorcism and possession; the creative experience of community in "The Different Drum" (1987); the role of civility in personal relationships and society in "A World Waiting to Be Born" (1993); an examination of the complexities of life and the paradoxical nature of belief in "Further Along the Road Less Traveled" (1993); and an exploration of the medical, ethical, and spiritual issues of euthanasia in "Denial of the Soul" (1999); as well as a novel, a children's book, and other works. A graduate of both Harvard University and Case Western Reserve, Dr. Peck served in the Army Medical Corps before maintaining a private practice in psychiatry. For?over twenty years, he devoted much of his time and financial resources to the work of the Foundation for Community Encouragement, a nonprofit organization that he helped found in 1984. He died in 2005 at the age of 69. See less
